The condition of the railroad above alluded
to- the Erie system, illustrates the fallacy of
the claim that all the earnings of Il railroad
corporation should be withheld from stock
holders until its debts are paid. That Company
has a capitol of over II million of common and
preferred stock, and an Indebtedness exceeding
100 million of dollars, secured and unsecured
The court need not have troubled itself over
the difficulties presented in that case, if it had
had the courage to assume that the preferred
stockholders were not entitled to dividends
until the 100 millions dollars of debt were paid
There is hardly a railroad Company in the
world that has not funded debt. Such rule
would work an injustice amounting to cruelty
in many eases. Section 100 ch. Al, II. S., pro-
vides that savings banks may invest their de-
posits in the stocks of any dividend paving
railroad in New England. How would the
rule contended for work with savings bank
deposits invested in Maine Central X. Il. stock,
a Company having $3,G0O,0O0 stock and $1l, :
OOO.OO of Indebtedness; or in the Boston and
Boston n Albany, with debt of $1,000, 900
or, if we look out of New England, III the
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Il. Il. Co., one
of the most reputable Companies in our coul,-
try, having more than $50, ,OOO, 900 Of funded
Indebtedness! What would annuities and life
estates he practically worth to the holders of
them in railroad Companies, under a rule
which allowed no dividends until all debts are
paid. The history of railroad enterprises
teaches us that the old liabilities of Companies
are well nigh habitualIy paid by the creation OF
new ones, the general design being to lessen
the liabilities. which are represented in the
construction, by gradual process.
The last point which the case presents is
whether the court can interfere in behalf OF
| the complainants. We think it can and should.
The directors refuse to perform Il duty. They
| ignore contract. They are chosen by the
holders of the common stock, who are the ma.
| jority, and are hostile to the interest of the
companants. We asserted the right of the
court in the former case, and there cited al.
thorities in support of it. Says Morawctz
| (COr. 2SO) ''Where certain share holders are
entitled to privileges which do not belong to
the other members of the Company, the court
will provide remedy for an infringement OF
these privileges by the other shareholders OF
the Company's agents." See Cook, before
cited s 54l, and eases. Says Wheeler, j.

THE WHEAT FURRY.
Another PanicISy Day Closfs with Bet
ter Feeling.

CHICAGO, June 15th.-There was an en-
ormous crowd on the floor and galleries OF
the Board of Trade long before the opening
hours this morning, and when the bell
sounded at $3.50 A. NJ a roar went ND and
the days session began.
The first sales of wheat were 75lc for
June and 76c for July, which was an ad-
vance of &c and &c, respectively.
At 10 o'clock the price was 77lc for June
and 751c for July.
The closing half-hour on Change wit
messed almost complete subsistence of the
intense excitement which prevailed when
July wheat broke to 20. Shortly after
noon the announcement that Kershaw had
failed to meet his clearing house differences
was posted, but it seemed to have little or
no effect on prices. 1t is said he could
meet all his claims against the firm if
Rosenfeld had not garnisheed the money
which was checked against him, tying up
100000, which rumor says be had to his
credit.
The following firms, in addition to Ker-
shaw, failed TO go through the Clearing
house: s. L. Eldridge, NJ. B. Crofts & Co.,
II. X. Matthews, Youst & Briefly, B. j.
McCleary, II. J. Youst & Co., Hibbard &,
Co. and Pickering & Co.
Just before the close of the session, L. B.
liul4Naee " w. duHOuuCeu tDey were even
on the market and requested their trades
should not be closed out.
The morning session closed with frmer
feeling. During the last hour July wheat
fiuctuated between III and 72s, the latter
figure being the highest of the hour.
The day closed with prevailing feeling
that the worst is now over. The announce
ment that Kershaw & Co. will be able to
pay their obligations has created intense
excitement.
LITTLE EXCITEMENT IN NEW YORK.
New YORK June 15th.-The big drop of

market remained comparatively steady
The news of the failure of Chicago firms
caused some nervousness. At the close of

went at 92 cents and July wheat at ST.

there is no possible necessity for

VALUABLE DISCOVERY.
The Hop-LOuse Traced to Its Breeding
Place, the Plum Tree.


WASHINGTON, June 10Th. - Professor
Riley, Entomologist of the Department of
Agriculture, has made public the result of
his exhaustive investigation into the habits
of the Ph0rodO8 hinluli, or hop-louse. His
discoveries are expected to prove of great
value to hop-growers, as he has succeeded
in learning the habitaiiOn Of this plant pest
during the winter months, and tracing il
through its varying stages of insect life.
Before the Professors S investigation it was
not known how or where the insects sur
vived the winter. As result of his in
quiries the Professor has satisfied himself
that the eggs laid by the female at the
close of the summer are deposited in plum
trees, where the insect matches in the
spring and resides until the third genera
ton. This third brood, unlike its prede-
cessors, is winged, and Immediately after
its DEVELOPMENT abandons the plum tree
and attacks the hop vines. In the
autumn counter-migration from tie
hop vines TO the plum tree occurs.
In the winter the eggs are depos-
tied and the cycle Of life goes on
in the same fashion. 1t is a notable fact
that in regions where the cultivation of the
hop vines is a new industry the growers
have had complete immunity for a while
from the pest. In California to-day they
are not troubled by it. The professor be.
lieves that the Ph0rod0n huHluH has been
brought to this country from Europe on
plum stock, and there is reason to believe
that the phylloxera the dread grape pest,
was carried from this country to Europe
on grapevine cuttings. Therefore Cal
if0rnia hop-growers are warned TO beware
of importing plum stock from Eastern HOP
regions. These discoveries render it pos
sible to check the ravages of the hop louise,
either by insecticides in the spring (the
time before the insects have reached the
winged state) or by the destruction of the
shelteriug plum trees. Experiments will
be continued with view to protecting the
hop vines after they have become infested
with the Ice

The Hail-Storm.

The REcoRD-UNIoN on Tuesday referred
to the damage done by the hail and rain
storm last Sunday in the vicinity of Knights
Landing. The Tolo 4llaH gives the follow
ing additional information on the subject
Later reports from the hail-storm of last
Sunday go to indicate that the damage in
the section il passed over is much greater
than at first supposed. Mr.. Green, who
lives about four miles above Knights Land
ing, states that the storm passed over e dis
trict two and half miles in width, and in
some places made a complete destruction
of the grain and fruit. He ethinks his grain
was injured to the extent OF at least one
third. A neighbor of his had fine crop
of corn and vegetables which was destroyed
entirely. The damage in Reclamation Dis
trict is said to have been quite heavy, es-
pecially on the Reed and Curtiss lands.
The storm lasted fifteen minutes. and vas
probably the heaviest ever known in Cali
fornia. One gentleman states that during
its continuance one could not have heard a
cannon explosion. After the storm the
hail lay on the ground at least four inches
deep"

Cleveland's Order for the Return of Rebel
Flags Arouses Feeling.

New York, July 15th.-The Tri5uaes
Washington special of the 14th saws The
order of the President to return to The au-
thorities of the late rebel States the flags
captured during the war has excited more
Indignation among Union veterans in
Washington than anything that has hap
pened for many years. The order came
like thunder out of a clear sky. For forty
eight hours rumors were afioat that it was
to be issued, but no man who had been a
soldier could be found who would believe
the report. But the order has been issued
and the Adiutant-General of the army
hastens to declare that it is his pleasant
duty to communicate it to the Governors
of the late rebel States.
Section 2lS of the Revised Statutes re-
quires the Secretary of War to cause to be
transmitted to him all flags, colors, and
standars captured from enemies of the
United States. Section 217 makes him
custodian of all the books, records, papers.
furniture, pictures and other property ap-
pertaining to the Department. He has no
right to dispose of any of the property in
his custody except by authority given TO
him by Congress.
The rebel flags went into the custody of
the Secretary of War by virtue of an Act
of Congress. Nothing less than an Act of
Congress can lawfully remove them from
his custody. They number about 545.
An officer who has spent forty years in
his countrys service to-day said: Il do
not understand this. / suppose Cleveland
can get the nomination anyway, and, of
| course, if he is nominated, the South will
support him. 1t hardly seems worth while
to insult every man who fought for the
Union"
Among the members of the Grand Army
who were seen to-day the feeling was bit
ter in the extreme, and it probably will re-
suit in some official expression at the Ma
tional Encampment.

ties at Washington against the return of the

nection said:

! comply with the request, and do most
| earnestly protest against the action to which

him to take legal advice and institute pro-
ceedings to enioin the return of the rebel
flags which were captured by these troops.
